I've blogged about how much I hate cold callers before, but this one is really taking it too far.

My phone provider calls EVERY DAY. Technically this is not considered cold calling since we have their services or whatever, but they keep asking for my landlords when I have told them numerous times that they cannot be found here. They won't talk to me personally because I don't own the line, so WHY won't they take a note of the fact that I CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR THEM? I have told them how to contact my landlords. I have told them that the property is rented out and the line with it. Do they listen? Of course not.

The stupid thing is, I can't change the phone provider because of the renting situation thing (normally the phone is connected by the person renting, not the landlord, however because of 3875928375928735982735 problems occurring when I tried to do it, landlord had to) nor can I do anything about them calling me twice a day every single day (and no, I don't answer any more. If the person really wants to contact me, they'll leave a message). ARGH.

...and ARGH #2: I've just found out that I completely misread one of my university assignments. Instead of the deadline being at the end of next week like I thought, it's actually on Wednesday morning. That's in a day and a half. I haven't started yet and this is a complete project that needs to be done. GAH!

I can't decide on anything interesting to blog about (if I ever do blog about anything interesting, that is) so here is a nice list of things to read instead.

• I have been reviewed for the first time in two years (thanks Sarah!). Woo!

• I still can't come up with a new layout for this site.

• I am free of university essays for a month!

• I wish people would stop using popup windows on their sites. I can't open them. They crash my computer every time and it's really, really annoying. Most people from the Q*Bee like to put their quilts in little popups - please don't, I can't view your quilt and/or trade with you if you do that. I'm not kidding, any type of popup will crash my computer in any browser. I have popup blockers/diverters and all sorts to try and help the problem (yes, I've tried disabling them) and while it helps for some sites, it doesn't work for everything.

• Why did coding something I've been meaning to do for a while seem very appealing before my essays were due in, and now they're done it seems like the most arduous task in the world?

So it's become very obvious that the fixed header has to go. I did consider making it collapsible but it's more trouble than it's worth and it would just be exactly the same to people browsing with JavaScript disabled. I am working on a new layout but it's not quite going how I want it to and I don't like it and blah blah blah, so it will be a while before I get that up.

On a more serious note, unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you will undoubtedly be aware of the Virginia Tech massacre. My heart goes out to all the families involved. Thankfully, a friend of mine who attends that university is safe and well, but that is clearly not the case for 32 others. :( I don't know what possessed the gunman but he had no right to take innocent lives with his own.

...and now I must return to my essays. Lots of them to do, and they're all in on Monday. *Sigh*
